even-time AMA Superbike
Champion Mat Mladin says
he has been cleared of four
counts of child molestation
brought on him in a 2020 case.
The Australian, who con-

"It's over and I have my life back. My beautiful
daughters Jess and Em are looking forward to
many things that have been put on hold this past
couple of years.
"Thank you to the people that put their hand up
to support me. It will never be forgotten." - Mat
